[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First time she said "shut up" it was in a quiet, testing way, on response to a request to put away shoes. I said "we do not talk like that, think about that for a few minutes" and left her alone in her room. She hates to be alone so that's usually punishment enough. Second time was the next day after a different chore request. She said it under breath at first, again testing. I pretended not to hear, but then it came back louder.

How do I nip this in they bud so it never happens again and so younger sibling won't pick it up? I know other kids in her class have been experimenting with it since last week she told me that one boy had said it in class and got put in their version of time out. I heard a different classmate say it on the playground before school.[/quote]

I am sorry you are dealing with this. Disrespect isn't good at all at any age. Consistency is good to have with young children, I have a 9year old right now who is disrespectful and consistency is what she needs but she is strong willed so it doesn't always help her. I hope you can find what will work your your child, but yes try to nip it in the bud. Good luck. [/quote]
